Going Out Of Town- 5 GUYS

September 01, 2025 12:40PM
I may be going out of town next week, and the place I am going they have a 5 GUYS.

I checked the web site early this morning and they have not posted anything yet. Yes, I know it is Labor Day but when do they usually post the 5 Guys Shops

Also I know I have to be 1,000 % sure I can complete the shop.

I know some people try and wait for bonuses but when they do post the shop, shall I take it at base fee or wait for the bonus?

I don't go out of town much but when I do, I like to try and do some shops and make some money

ETA: I check another area that has 5 GUYS and they have the shops posted.. I know the location is shopped because I have done it before but it has been SEVERAL YEARS..

Are all 5 Guys shopped or it is just certain ones?

Thanks smiling smiley

They're all shopped so someone else probably got it.

Just keep watching the board. Some of these get auto-assigned and the person will drop it later. the %g are posted several weeks in advance. So if you do not see it, it is in someone else's shops log to do until they cancel.

I LOL when I see a "Hot!" one of these shops on the board with only a $15 fee, AND must be done in last 30 mins before closing.

Have at it peeps!

[Thinking out loud...maybe the economy is cooling and people are so desperate that some mystery shoppers will do just about anything. I'm frugal, but I'm not stupid.]

I've grabbed these at base pay while traveling which probably pissed off the local shoppers. I neededed to have lunch, why not get it reimbursed?

And I'm sorry i screwed the locals.

I have done the same when traveling. I always check last minute when we are getting close to an interstate exchange for a quick meal. Sometimes I get lucky and find a bonused one, but often they are at base pay. Sorry not sorry!

i can understand taking it for $9 base pay. ti's the people who would take the chicken fingers place for $0 base pay and still come out of pocket and have to do a long report and cannot make modifications to your order.

Those people I never understood.

Yep, like the shoppers who do oil change shops and play Russian roulette with their vehicle life.

I like doing shops on vacation! Doing a 5 Guys is great, cause I am already familiar with the food, report, etc. On our first visit to Texas we shopped a place that became a favorite.

Ha ha while interstate traveling, its all the same. I will gladly pick up a shop with a familiar report for a quick meal. I do enjoy a nice dinner local to the area once I reach my destination.
